Logan's death the subject OF rheumatism Is
being discussed by the medical profession

various acids, such a. uric acid, one OF the chief

rheumatism, like dropsy, is not disease, but
the result OF disease, and il is safe TO say that
if the stomach and kidneys are kept in health
full condition, there SLl be no deaths from
rheumatism
General Logan was well aware that his dis

himself in indignant terms at the folly OF
doctors treating him for rheumatism, when 1t
was the kidneys that caused his attacks
The high living and the excessss In all things,

by the kidneys as fast as formed, it grad
ually ruins the health.
This fact ia q scientific demonstration.
If doctors do not admit it, it il probably
because they do not wish to attract atten-
ton to the menace dersnged kidneys offers
TO the general health, since they have no
authorized specific for these organs
General Logan knew what his real trouble
was, and he recognized the nonsense OF
treating the effects-the real seat of the
disease was the kidneys. Senator Sittig,
Of Illinois, whose vote elected Logan Sen
ator after four months of balloting, tells
US that Logan often complained to him of
great distress in his Kidneys. Disease OF
the kidneys always produces rheumatism,
and besides that, it causes paralysis, apo
plexy, impotency, stomach and blood dis
orders, brain troubles, female complaints
and countless other diseases which would
almost never develop if the blood was kept
free of uric acid or kidney poison.
These facts the public recognizes even
though medical gentlemen, for very evil
dent reasons, will not publicly acknowledge
them lest, perchance, some proprietary
medicine, like Warmers safe cure. now ad-
mitted to be the only scientific specific, vii,
get the benefit
File on such bigotryl 1t has been author
itatively stated time and again that there
can be no real sound health if there Is any
false action Of the kidneys. Insurance
companies refuse millions of risks on this
ground alone, hence it is that there is such
universal popularity given to the great
preparation named-a popularity that is
based upon intrinsic merit.
Too much dependence upon professional
advice, especially in matters over which
medical men admit they have no power,
too often results very dlsastrously, but of
what use to the victim is experience gained
bv fatal disaster2
How much better it is to be guided by an
unprecedented public opinion in such mat
tiers.
Had Logan been so guided, he might
have been spared many years.
